Shabby Chevron Desk

I have been meaning for sometime to try a chevron pattern on a piece of furniture.  I got this desk and wasn't wild about it and figured it'd be the perfect option to do a little experimenting.  I was quite pleased with her end result.  The actual chevron portion took a little extra time.  I tend to forget how much math is necessary to do a job well.  

It took some deliberating on the knobs, but I am quite happy with the orange pop of color to off set the neutrals.  She'll make a happy little perch for someone study up next to! 

Frenchy Four Drawer

This is a 100+ year old vintage dresser with delicate woodwork additions.  I love the thickness of the legs and the detail added onto the drawers.  I chose a creamy slate color for the base and distressed it for a well loved look.  The top is stained a dark walnut and I loved the way the original pulls drew out the darkness of the top to tie back in a dark hue on the bottom.

Robin's Egg Blue Antique Dresser

What a dainty little dresser.  I love the original key holes and caster wheels of this little dresser that seem to accentuate her French feel! This was a little of an experiment in color as I wasn't quite sure how this slate would turn out with the Dark Walnut Stain.  But love her I do! She was an easy little ditty to put some love into!
